Do your clothes reflect your personality?
Is your style unique to you?
Fashion brands and stores predict what fashion trends will be and produce different trends every week of the year to sell sell sell. It's all about the money.
So when you purchase an item of clothing, consider these four factors to avoid being a fashion clone and throwing your money away, be environmentally conscious, and truly dress according to your rules.
- Think about your skin tone- this impacts what colors look best on you.
- Consider unique body shape and if the cut of the item works for your proportions.
- Check out the fabric- is it a quality material that will last? Instead of buying every new trend, take the time to participate in trends mindfully and only buy an item if you genuinely love it and you'll wear it a lot.
- Make that piece your own! If being on trend is important to you then show it through your your haircut, color, makeup, and accessories. Jazz up a trend, so it's showing your creative flair- and have some fun with your style. You'll look and feel amazing without buying a new trend piece every month of the year!
Focus on shopping fewer quality trend pieces you can style in endless ways - it's good for your wallet, the planet, and for you to truly own your style.
